| Quote: | | But a new Dark Horse comics series due out later this year on 02/26/14 will be revealing what's next for the newest iteration of one of gaming's most recognizable heroines. |
| Quote: | Kotaku: When does this series take place with respect to the events of the new game? Will this still be a new Lara who's just starting out as an adventurer?
Simone: Very much so, we start just a few weeks after the end of the game, and this is all in continuity, it will be Tomb Raider canon, and lead DIRECTLY into the sequel. This is what got me excited; we get to be part of Lara Croft history. |
So this means the sequel's script is (almost?) ready.
Oh and
| Quote: | | The writing in the Tomb Raider game is so natural and believable and convincing, you really feel Lara’s pain and struggle. |

Rhianna Pratchett is the michael bay of writers. no substance, just full on cliche story telling filled with set pieces. Fantastic game but the writing was one of the weakest I have ever experienced. It's worse than the writing in uncharted games, and that can be really brutal at times.
I really do hope if they do bring her back that she actually learned something and isn't going down the ignorant MY DADDY WAS A GREAT WRITER AND SO AM I ITS IN MY BLOOD! route.
God damn it the writing in that game was just horrible and the characters were just awful. There was no tension, there was no struggle, there was no need for anything.
 Spoiler: | oh lara I loved you ever since I met you, but now I must die so you can save your self!
Oh it's ok guy with glasses. I sort of loved you too but the entire game is making me out to be a lesbian with an asian girl who keeps getting into trouble. I will miss you, guy I have just physically met in the game for the first time ever. Losing you, is like losing a part of me! I WILL NOT LET YOU DIE IN VAIN! However, I cannot let any more lives to be lost. Oh wait, bad guys. PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW
Oh lara, thank you... KABOOOOOM.
Oh guy with glasses, sob sob sob pew pew pew pew.
Meanwhile on the shore, oh no... the guy we trusted ended up working with the bad guys and he kidnapped your friend, lover, asian girl. LARA YOU MUST SAVE HER. By the way lara, you're a horrible human being. I RESENT YOU! I HATE YOU!. But please lara come back safe. We need you. BUT YOURE STILL A BITCH!. But we need you. Let me be more of a stereotypical black woman written solely to express my anger at rich white girls, because for some reason i'm bipolar and really really stupid.
fast forward.
OH YES WE WON! THANK YOU LARA! YOURE THE BESTEST!

God damn it. I really really really really fucking hated the writing. It was ok when i didn't have to interact with the stupid crew.

I wouldn't be so sure. They have some epic games coming up.
tunnels (a portal like game where you're in a rat maze and you have to shift tunnels to get to the end)
tunnels 2 (a portal 2 like game where you have a companion made out of genetically modified cheese who helps you, with its power of time shifting, to shift tunnels and build breakable paths and getting to the end of a puzzle before the time shifting ability stops. think throwing cards in the air, stopping time an using them as a staircase to reach the top)
Opposing-G (a gravity based shooter where you're stuck in a constantly rotating room armed only with a laser cannon and a nuclear granade. 8 player map consists only of death match filled with 8 users floating in a small rotating square and they can only move in the direction they bounce.)
Opposing-G2 (a gravity based shooter with reused, graphically updated maps, with more weapons and more options for gravity, now featuring beatiful vistas spanning across the galaxy. the gravity is affected by which planet you are near to. Introducing a pilot mode, where one player controls the speed of the rotating map and how close the box will 'fly' near the planet to either increase or decrease the gravity)
Hammer-Time (a sandbox, minecraft type fps set in an openworld mineshaft  . It's a 4 player coop with 4 different varrying miners who are stuck in a mineshaft and must escape a horde of demons, monsters, and other hellish creatures. Objective of the game is to build a tunnel to get to safety (destroy walls, build walls, build safe spots) all in the backdrop of cheesy b-movies)
Hammer-time2 (a seuqel to the critcally acclaimed hammer-time, the four heroes return to rescue, cure, and sometimes kill, other miners trapped in a mineshaft. Removing the build/demolish mechanics that made the original so popular, valve create a cloud based ai system where the AI survivors make their way down\up a mineshaft to survive. You have to reach them in time before their oxygen expires, or they get eaten by monsters spawning in the gates of helll)
Frequent Flyer (an online fps, tdm, game where you're on a plane as a tsa agent trying to stop a terrorist plot. No harm can happen to any of the passengers, or the pilots or the plane will fall. Players can switch their characters at random to stealthily stop the terrorists, while terrorists have to figure out which players are the tsa agents who try to stop them, game requires attention to detail.)

the gameplay was fucking fantastic for what it was. as a 3rd person adventure/explorer game. it made uncharted games look like child's play. better cover shooting than uncharted. heck better shooting than uncharted.
there aren't many 3rd person action/adventure games like that out there. this, uncharted are the only ones that come to mind at this very second.

I call bullshit, you'll get it cheaper on steamtrades a little bit after the release.

I'm not questioning that it had bad gameplay, it didn't IMO.
Just that good gameplay somehow makes you focus on the story/plot quality?
That doesn't make much (any) sense to me.

Hmm, how come you made a thread for such an old game? It's pretty much the best TR game, I know, but...
... oh wait!
OH!!!
It's the sequel to that "game", the new "Tomb Raider". I see...
Right... uhm... if it will be the same kind of crap as the other one, just fuck off, SE and CD! Really, just fuck off with your cinematic bullshit.

but a diff writer.  I'm so down for a sequel. I hope they improve on the original and don't do an assassins creed and fill it with useless bull shit so that more people will buy it.

it actually worked for this game. Brutal deaths. Brutal combat. Brutal set pieces. Set pieces that actually made your heart skip a beat. It's very hard for games in recent memory with scripted events to pull of what CD did with tomb raider.

nvm waldo, I suddenly understood what you were trying to say and I agree.
Same for the Dead Island games, IMO.
Oh and could do without the ultra retarded insta-death QTE's, though.

some qtes were too much, but some actually made you go oh shit oh shit dun fuck up 
In the beginning at least, it was too much. Later on when it opened up, it was just nicely paced.

I couldn't give less fucks if it worked or not for you people. As an old TR fan and just a gamer in general after all, I was fucking disgusted by that crap they dare call a "game".

Good for her. I really didn't. I hate it with a passion. They raped one of my favourite franchises of all time. And I had hope, because their vision was completely different when it was announced or so it seemed. I was expecting the game to go in the direction of a fully-fledged game based around the idea behind the level on the haunted island from TR Chronicles. And it's anything but that. It ended up a rival to the retarded Uncharted shit, an interactive cover shooting movie and last but not least, it's just not TR anymore. I grew up with Tomb Raider, it means a lot to me and it depresses me when I see where it went.

Oh don't get me wrong, please, I'm not in ANY way attempting to disparage how you feel or what the series meant to you. I can fully understand your anger and resentment, it mirrors my own whenever a developer takes one of my beloved franchises and butchers it (coughFrontMissioncough). I was just saying that I loved the game and my wife, who has always been an ardent fan of the series, loved the new one too.

She watched me play it a bit and said it was a bit too convoluted for her if you know what I mean.
